About Us
The Classics Development Group brings together learned societies and professional organisations in the field of Classics, recognising that more can be achieved by a formal collaborative grouping to identify and discuss common issues.
Cooperation
We foster relationships, share knowledge and promote events in all areas of Classics. We co-operate with a broader range of Arts and Humanities-related learned societies and professional associations
Facilitate Knowledge Exchange
Between meetings, we help learned societies collaborate for major discipline-wide efforts, e.g. Covid-19 hardship funds for postgraduate students and Early Career Researchers
